Default Shorten list into several columns

Copy and paste if a one-off operation.

Using formulas...........

In B1 enter this =INDEX($A:$A,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*6+COLUMNS($A:B)-1)

Copy across to G1

Copy B1:G1 down untill you get zeros.

Or use a macro.

Public Sub SplitToCols()
Dim NumCols As Integer
Dim I As Integer
Dim colsize As Long
On Error GoTo fileerror

NumCols = InputBox("Choose Final Number of Columns")
colsize = Int((ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count + _
(NumCols - 1)) / NumCols)
For I = 2 To NumCols
Cells((I - 1) * colsize + 1, 1).Resize(colsize, 1).Copy Cells(1, I)
Next I
Range(Cells(colsize + 1, 1), Cells(Rows.Count, 1)).Clear
fileerror:
End Sub
